Welcome to the
Northampton Community Music Center!
News:
14TH ANNUAL SPRINGFEST THIS SATURDAY!
As always, we couldn't have put SPRINGFEST together without the generous support of our many fabulous sponsors! Please support them as they support your Music Center!
HELP OUT AT SPRINGFEST--SATURDAY, MAY 17!
NCMC needs volunteers to help out with several different aspects of SPRINGFEST this year. You can help us sell T-shirts and other NCMC products at the Courthouse, bake some treats to donate to our bake sale, help sell treats at the sale, or help with set up and clean up of the performance venues. If you'd like to do any of this, please call us (413-585-0001) and speak to Jason about scheduling your volunteer time.
Volunteering: the gift that keeps on giving!

Foreign Correspondent
NCMC piano faculty member Xiaoyu Xie is currently in China's ravaged Chengdu province, working as a guide and interpreter for several reporters from NPR. He, his family, and the NPR team are thankfully unharmed by the huge earthquake that hit the region Sunday, but we're anxious to keep tabs on him!
To follow the team's movements, keep an eye on their blog at http://www.npr.org/blogs/chengdu/.

NCMC to host Sebastian Chamber Players
The Sebastian Chamber Players will stop at NCMC along their Northeast Tour route on Wednesday, May 21, to perform the Schubert Cello Quintet, among other works. This is a fabulous opportunity to hear a prodigiously talented group (of Juilliard graduates, no less!) right in our own Recital Hall!
The concert will begin at 7:00pm; Admission is by donation (suggested: $10 adults/$5 students & seniors) a portion of which will benefit the NCMC Scholarship Fund.
We look forward to seeing you there!
